Thank you to our readers.

Over the last couple of days, we have received messages that makes it all worth while.A comment.Dear Jan, Eddie and Graham - I just wanted to say again what a delight this informative website is; Recipes, Research studies, the latest information and science regarding medications, light hearted humour and a bit of Rock N Roll on a Saturday night! You have taken the notion 'evidence based practice' to a whole new level - and shows what is possible! Thank you, what a delight to read.Kath An email.Hello, I came across your website last night and just wanted to say how informative, honest, positive and true it is! I am a dietitian and often despair at the rubbish I see/hear being given to newly diagnosed people with Diabetes in the NHS and the misguided and confused media messages. What you have done is fantastic and I will be recommending it to anyone I speak to who has Diabetes. I also love the recipes at the end!Very Best Wishes, Vicky. EddiePost edit.I sent this email to Vicky.Thank you Vicky so much, as you can see I have thanked you publicly without posting your full name.

The very best of luck and health to you and yours.

Thanks, I will be recommending your website to my patients with Diabetes. This far outweighs the advice from Diabetes UK.

I totally agree with two people above, this is a wonderfully honest blog, more people need to read and follow... people need to know the truth... keep up the great work, I will share on Twitter whenever possible xox

Thank you Eddie for uploading my post! Its Kath - I didn't mention in my comment that as Vicky, I am also dietetic trained. This is why I felt so passionate to say from my heart how amazing your work here is! I have spent years and years telling patients to base their meals on starchy foods, to go for low-fat options. I told overweight patients, those with diabetes, PCOS, pre-diabetes, the list goes on.

I truly believed that this was the correct advice to give, as we were told we were the leading specialists in the field - that we are the only recognised nutritional health professionals that use evidence based advice practice. As a health professional you wouldn't automatically question the advice your being told to provide, and unfortunately I didn't, as I thought I was providing expert dietary advice. I completely agree with Vicky - I have done a complete U-turn after opening my ears and I now cringe at the advice that it provided to diabetics; advice that I once gave.

Unfortunately, I can not see things changing for some time. I feel you have shown true evidence based practice - much more evidence than I ever had time to read or keep up with when inundated with patients on busy wards. Your website shows what is possible!

You guys do a great job, and the recipes are a great bonus. I've tried several and found them quite tasty! Thanks again, we need more people spreading the word that what the establishment has told us for the last 30-40 years was just wrong and their guidelines have led to the obesity and diabetes epidemic. But with the right diet, we can reverse it.

Many apologies Kath for some reason you comment ended up in the spam folder and I only just found it.
